brown spotting?

naa855naa855
in 1st Trimester

i keep reading posts from people who say they had successful pregnancies after a little spotting, but it's still scary! i just left a message with my drs office asking to call me back, see if they're going to move my u/s up or anything. i'm a little comforted because it's brown, and not pink, but it's hard not to be totally freaked out :(

anyone else in the same boat?

    I had red blood when pregnant with DD.

    Right now, I have brown, more than spotting ,with some red/pink to it.  My u/s on Tuesday was fine.  

    It is very common to bleed in early pregnancy.  This is my 3rd, and I bled all 3 times.

    I bled for a week starting right around 6 weeks.  It varied from brown to pink to red and anything from tiny spotting to a bit more than that.  My u/s at 6w2d and 10w1d were perfect.

    This put me a little more at ease.  Yesterday, right after intercouse, I noticed some bleeding but my doctor's office told me I shouldn't be alarmed.  Its so hard not to stress  :-(

    It is very common after intercourse, bowel movements, strenuous activity, trans vaginal ultrasounds and pelvic exams.

    It's really hard not to stress, you're so right! For me it only happened this afternoon, and I've peed several times since and haven't seen any more. I have slight cramping, and last night had a dream that I miscarried :(

    Relaxing and trying to de-stress, it is what it is!

    Also I did a lot of bending and squatting yesterday cleaning the tub, we're moving next week. Maybe that did it?

    I've been getting that on and off for the past few days.  I had a vaginal ultrasound on Tuesday and the doc moved it around a lot.. .but I also heard it can just be old blood from implantation.

    Bless you guys for this post!  I have been spotting today and in a panic.  This is not only my first child, but my first time being pregnant after a bit of trying as you can see in my siggy.  I called the doc since it was brown tinged with a little pink, but no pain, etc.  And they said everything should be fine and they will see me Monday for my scheduled ultrasound...but I'll be honest I have still worried all day...So this post made me feel ALOT better

    I had brown spotting with a little pink the last 24 hours (and cramping).  Called the dr. and they had me come in and did an u/s.  there was a healthy baby with a strong heartbeat.  I know it's hard not to worry, but try to relax!

    i've been spotting for like 3 weeks!  I'm pretty sure i know the various causes at this point (1st week=sex, 2nd week = hospital check bc of previous spotting, 3rd week = pap smear from 1st official appt).

    the doctor keeps reassuring me, but it sure is nervewracking!  I called again today because it hasn't stopped and is a bit alarming, so they scheduled another ultrasound on Monday to make sure everything's progressing from the first ultrasound at 6 weeks.  I'll feel a hell of a lot better after that appointment! (as long as everything goes well...)

    When in doubt, call your doctor.  Don't feel annoying.  they can answer your questions and if they are concerned they will have you come in to check everything!

     I would think that would be related.  With my last pregnancy, I noticed I bled worse when I did strenuous activities.  DD was still in an infant carrier, and it was right around Christmas, so I was constantly pulling her in and out of the car, and carrying stuff.  It would be worse on days  I went out with her.  And again, my miscarriage happened well over a month after my bleeding, and was not related.  The bleeding was caused by my cervix, and the loss was genetic.
